OPOSSUM AS A PEST
In his opinion, the; opossum was potentially as much of a pest as the deer, said Major G. F. Yerex, at a meeting of the North Canterbury Catchment Board, and he would much rather try to exterminate the deer than the opossum, reports the "StarSun." Although the opossum was a nuisance principally in the more settled areas, it was increasing in the bush. More study might lead to the devising of more effective means of control.
